Were you aware that one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s advisers had recommended that he skip the phrase “I have a dream” from his well-known speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963? Thankfully, King did not follow that advice.

Those four short words from his speech and quotes from many others have inspired us and given us the courage to move forward towards our own dreams and stand up for what we believe in.

In honor of a great man, I decided to make this copywork for my kids and yours. Here are a few of King’s many many pearls of wisdom to help remind us of how tremendous the power of vision is.

This copywork has 20 quotes with lined paper, extra lined paper and a list of the quotes as well.

This is an instant download, nothing will be shipped to you.

What is Copywork?

Copywork is an excellent learning tool. The educational value is awesome.

Copywork, when done properly, is simply copying a passage of writing word for word making sure to copy the punctuation perfectly. You can use a passage from anything including a book a child loves or any interest they may have. This training improves penmanship, as well as enables your child to learn different writing styles and techniques.

Copywork is said to be unnecessary in the fast-paced internet world of today, but I would argue that it has many benefits for children to learn. Copywork is very popular in the modern homeschooling world today.

4 Benefits of Copywork

1. MemoryCopying meaningful passages helps students remember the ideas or information in the passage.

2. Attention to Details
It requires close attention to details such as spelling and punctuation that may be ignored when reading a passage quickly.
